Creamer Tied for Third After Second Round at Solonpas Cup

Paula Creamer fired a 4-under-par 68 in the second round of the rain-soaked World Ladies Championship Salonpas Cup on Friday. Her two round total of 5-under-par 139 moves Paula into a third-place tie just 3 strokes behind the leader going into the weekend.

Defending champion Akiko Fukushima also shot 68 to get to 8-under and will retain the overnight lead in the thunderstorm shortened second round. Fukushima made five birdies and one bogey to finish one stroke ahead of Jeon Mi Jeong.

More than half of the field failed to complete their rounds at Ibaraki Golf Club’s West Course because of the rain and are scheduled to resume play on Saturday before the third round.
